Everyone Knows (Student & Teacher)

Part 1-

My hand trembled as I knocked at the door; after it creaked opened 30 pairs of eyes, belonging to year 7s, turned to stare at me. "Addison, are you okay?" He led me outside into the corridor.

"Nathan, no it's all got too much" Tears began to fall off my cheeks, I collapsed into his arms.

To find out how this all happened we'll have to back nearly ago, to the start of the school year, 5th September 2013.

-----

I rolled out of bed at 9am, which was pretty normal since I didn't have to leave for the first day of year 10 until 11ish, since we were in at lunch instead of the normal time due to the new year 7s settling in etc. My best friend Ava was on her way round to get ready with me because my parents were out and I was home alone and didn't want to get ready alone, no one better to get ready with than your best friend. Me and Ava did everything together, we were inseparable. Ava literally lived behind me; you could see her bedroom window from mine. But it took about 5 minutes to get to each other's houses due to the fact the road I lived on was really long and there was a courtyard between us.

"Addie I'm here!" Ava screamed running up the stairs, she burst through my bedroom door and fell onto my bed throwing her bags onto the floor.

"Hi, the doors open" I laughed, putting my laptop back onto my desk after watching an episode of Gilmore Girls, and then returning back to sit on the bed next to her.

"Are we getting ready then?" She stood up and pulled out her screwed up school uniform from a Topshop carrier bag.

"Okay if you want" I shrugged before standing up and walking over to my wardrobe and pulling out my black blazer with red lining , a white shirt and my very attractive red tie with the name of our school on. Out of my draw I got out a black skirt and a pair of thick black tights.

"So how's Alex?" She laughed nudging my arm.

"Oh he's fine, his first day back to school was yesterday"

"First day of year 11 for him wasn't it" She pulled on her blazer and laughed at her reflection.

"That'll be us next year!" I smiled looking at her before continuing blending my foundation in with my beauty blender.

"Don't remind me!" I saw her roll her eyes in the reflection of the mirror.

At school we got put into year 10 forms, so people just in our year which was different to last year which had a range of students from year 7 to 11. Most of the people in my year I hated apart from the six of us in our friendship group. Me, Lola, Lauren, Georgia, Emily and River. Sometimes Ava hung around with us but mostly she stayed with Casey. Her best friend but one of the girls I hated. I got assigned to a new teacher, a lady that I was never taught by but I had heard a lot about. Mrs Gilbert. She had glasses on the end of her nose so she could peer over them, short blonde hair and was extremely tall.

"Ok I'll do the register!" She bellowed in her annoying accent, but I couldn't figure out where she was from it was a mixture of Yorkshire, London and Geordie. "All girls form I see" Her piercing green eyes glanced around the room, everyone sat still like she was going to pounce on us and eat every single last one of us. "Casey Adams"

"Here miss!" She squeaked in her fake 'I'm the teacher's pet' voice that goes straight through me. But Casey was the complete opposite of a teacher's pet; she had tried every drug under the sun before year 8 and lost her virginity at the age of 12.

"Rumour has it she was pregnant over the summer" Lauren whispered to me.

"Oh my God, who was the father?" I tried to whisper back, but my whisper was every persons normal volume.

"Apparently it was a guy she met in a park" We started giggling which quickly turned into a cackle.

"What's so funny, girls?!" Mrs Gilbert screamed looking in our direction.

"Nothing....sorry miss" Lauren replied in shock. I was still slightly giggling, more at the fact we had got caught talking.

The first few months back at school were a waste of time, learning stuff I really won't need in later life. The bitchy girls were being there usual selves. Casey included. Casey's friends were Terry, Louisa and Sammy they were as bad as each other, they found joy out of mine and everyone else's pain. Back in primary school me and Casey were kind of close we had tea at each other's houses and stuff. But as soon as she met the other bitches she became one as well and dropped me like that. They used to hit me and say I started it but now they've grown up and its moved to them calling me names. But when you get called fat, slag and whore every day and others much worse then you'd start to understand. However, I wouldn't tell anyone about it especially Ava she'd be stuck in the middle, between us both and I think I'd know who she would chose. It wouldn't be me.

"Alex, you are not being serious!" I stood up and started to scream at him like he was across the room.

"Addie, please be quiet people are staring!" He was right, everyone in Starbucks were looking directly at us. Alex grabbed a hold of my sleeve and tried to pull me down back into my chair.

"Alex, you cheated on me! You're a knob, and I fucking hate you!" I threw my coffee at him, his clothes dripped with an iced skinny latte. (Which I was sad about throwing at him since I really needed a coffee.)

"Addie, I kissed her, I didn't sleep with her" Alex went to a private school about 10 minutes away from mine so we didn't really know the same people unless they were friends of friends.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! WHO WAS IT THEN?" I yelled.

"You don't know her" He replied louder than he was speaking before.

"Go on then tell me who it was"

"Casey Adams..."

"Oh, you're perfect for each other, don't you dare try contact me again!" I stormed out of Starbucks, my face was dripping with tears and my skin was red and blotchy. To top it all off, there was Casey sat at the bus stop with her clique, as always, they sneered at my presence. To be honest I would have happily walked over there and punched her in the face. However, I was better than them so to fight the urge I quickly walked off in the direction of home.

My bed was comforting to my depressed and aching body, and my pillow soaked up all my black messy tears. The duvet was wrapped around me like a cocoon. I felt safe and like no-one could harm me especially Casey.
